The screenplay was sent to Jayne Sullivan from Paul Giamatti’s Touchy Feely Films to find interest in Mr. Giamatti, while he was filming Billions season 5’s latter episodes.
THE BELL a.k.a. DIE GLOCKE, is inspired by real-life people such as David Halberstam, Richard Donaldson, Hans Kammler, and the purported top-secret Nazi antigravity weapon, The Bell, or Die Glocke.
My grandmother and I are Catholics born in Warsaw, Poland. She in 1927, and I in 1978. My grandmother stayed behind, as my mother and father took me, and fled communist Poland in 1981. A few years ago, my grandmother and I visited the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. There, we both learned facts about royal bloodlines, contracts, laws, and economic rules, which influenced the history of Poland and its occupants. My great-grandfather, was executed in a Nazi concentration camp, and my great-aunt was medically experimented on in another yet survived.
An economic contract, was signed into law and provided to Jewish merchants by royal decree having an expiration date of one thousand years in certain territories. A theoretical extrapolation seemed to fit from the information gathered in the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. The contract was running out, seemingly forcing bloodlines into World War II as their vessel to end it.
This idea is one layer in the story of Die Glocke, featuring thee most powerful engineer in the SS, Hans Kammler, who purportedly led and built the antigravity device rumored to have crashed within the U.S. Now, Jerry must find the device before the Soviets, otherwise, World War III will ensue.

Expand commentThanks for your response, Elizabeth. I’ve been revising my historical script for ten years. I only get it out to make another pass at it because of these competitions. Our period piece scripts must be strictly passion projects, since they advise us not to write them, they’re too expensive to make, and no one is looking for them. We can always use them as writing samples.
